My Posts This: Topic Forum | I think it is also relative to where you live and how competant the seller of the product is in your region. If Brand X have a more aggressive seller, then they will be able to convince more to use their helis, even if they are not as good a buy as the model from Brand Y.
We all know that Century spends very little effort promoting their product. They seem to like to spend it quietly designing and manufacturing great bangs for the buck. Which I think us Century buyers have all identified and appreciate.
I am sure they could pay big name flyers to promote their helis, like some of the more popular brands do, whose product may not be as good, but then the cost of these pilots would certainly increase the cost of their kits also.
Talking of the E-Raptors. The reason they take so much more power to fly, is because they are not unique electric designs like the Swifts are. They are more of a conversion of their nitro series, so they weigh substantially more for the same blade size as the Swifts. But there is no doubt about how much better promoted they are - specially in some countries, like maybe Singapore.
So it is only those who can think more for themselves, that will discover the better value of the Swifts. |
